We recently spent a very satisfying morning tackling Cats Claw creeper near Tinana Creek. It was also very frustrating as we do try to monitor and maintain this weed. Tingid Bug is alive and well and doing some damage to this plant.
Newly planted trees are surviving – the sturdier eucalypts are sprouting higher than the tree guards . The beautiful Hyacinth orchid is now blooming – photo is attached.
